Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After driving for 30 minutes at a speed of 55-60 mph on the interstate, i was on the off ramp merging from one interstate to another, when the cars ahead of me starting slowing down. i applied a sudden pressure to the brakes to slow down also; however, the brake pedal went soft and then it seemed like the brakes locked, but did not slow down. the car made a sudden jolt to the right bringing me into the on coming traffic in the next lane. this resulted in a collision with another car. resulting in a total loss to the cobalt. the air bags did not deploy eventhough the front end of the car was destroyed. *nm
